The Bitterness of the Cross
| Answers in Genesis
If you have never felt the mournful effect of the sorrowful spectacle of the bleeding Saviour, you have still need to stand, and to look, and look, and look again until you do feel it, for so it will always be: “They shall look on me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn.”

2695. Christian Conversation
| Answers in Genesis
Beloved, engender controversy rather than have wrong conversation; better dispute over truth than agree about lies. Better, I say, it is to dispute concerning good doctrine, it is far more profitable to talk about the Word of God, even in a controversial manner, than to turn utterly away from it, and neglect it.

We now have to consider the tearful discovery: “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.” When did the man make this discovery? When he began to believe. Is it not an ironic thing that, as soon as he ever had a little faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, he discovered the great abyss of his unbelief?

Brethren, if we had more sense of our need, prayer would be more of an instinct with us; we should pray because we could not help praying; we should pray more truly, if we prayed because there were groanings within us, caused by intense pain, and longings that came out of the consciousness of our dire necessities.

Children of God, do not be anxious. Do not be tossed up and down by your outward circumstances. If God does not prosper you, do not sink down as the vessel does when the tide ebbs away. Do not be so affected by external things as to get into a state of worry, and fretfulness, and care, and anxiety, and distress.

There is a time for praying, but there is also a time for holy activity.
